# Four Famous Firsts
📍 1 A billion dollars is $1,000,000,000 (one thousand million). Today’s billionaires are Bill Gates, Carlos Slim and a few others. But the first billionaire was John D. Rockefeller in 1916. His company, Standard Oil, was very big in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. 📍 2 Most people think that George Washington was first. But it was Samuel Huntington in 1779. George Washington was the first president under the new constitution in 1789.
📍 3 It was in Uruguay in 1930. There were thirteen countries in the competition. Argentina and Uruguay were the two teams in the final and Uruguay were the winners, 4–2. 📍 4 The first one was probably a Turkish man called Mahir Cagri. His website was very simple. The first words were "Welcome to my home page. I kiss you!" Soon there were 12 million visitors to his website and he was called the "I Kiss You guy".
